messy room By Shell Silverstein!
Whosever room this is should be ashamed!
His underwear is hanging on the lamp.
His raincoat is there in the overstuffed chair,
And the chair is becoming quite mucky and damp.
His workbook is wedged in the window,
His sweater’s been thrown on the floor.
His scarf and one ski are beneath the TV,
And his pants have been carelessly hung on the door.
His books are all jammed in the closet,
His vest has been left in the hall.
A lizard named Ed is asleep in his bed,
And his smelly old sock has been stuck to the wall.
Whosever room this is should be ashamed!
Donald or Robert or Willie or–
Huh? You say it’s mine? Oh, dear,
I knew it looked familiar!
– Shell Silverstein
I like this poem it sounds a little like my room. Except for the lizard! I like Shell Silversteins writings I like the ones where he mixes up the letters in the words. That’s why I chose Shell Silversteins messy room.
OMG this is like the best poem I’ve ever read. Could you put more posts of poems by Shell Silverstein. This poem just made my day I love it so much. Where did you find this poem, or is there plenty more?
